Hoteliers Laud Wike’s Dev Strides

The Nigeria Hoteliers As
sociation (NHA) in Rivers State, recently, commended the Governor of the State, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike for his commitment to a broad-based approach to sustainable development in the state.
The association also commended the governor for his recent commitment in tackling sensitive security issues to boost the economy of the state.
The state chairman of the association, Mr Eugene O. Nwouzi who lauded the governor in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt called for caution over some remarks on the issue of security and politics in the state.
Nwouzi spoke against the backdrop of statements made by some politicians ahead of October legislative rerun election and security issues in recent times.
The chairman said such statements could create unnecessary tension and hamper socio-economic progress of the state.
According to him, statements about security issues must be intelligence- driven and follow tactical approach procedures in a way that will strengthen the economy and political system in the state and Nigeria at large.
Nwouzi expressed satisfaction over Governor Wike’s hosting some national and international events to boost the economy of the state.
He recalled that businesses like hotels in the state have been well patronized during such events as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national convention, the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) conference, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference, among others that were hosted by the state government.
Nwouzi explained that despite such challenges as hike in fuel prices and electricity tariff facing the hotel business in the state, Governor Wike’s economic policy was really on the right track.
He called on politicians to shun their differences and support the government to continue to improve the lot of the people.
